-Status Meetings, generally leader-led, which are about reporting by one-way communication
-Work Meeting, which produces a product or intangible result such as a decision

https://stanacosmin.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/achieving-a-work-life-balance/#respondThu, 16 Dec 2010 19:30:28 +0000http://stanacosmin.wordpress.com/?p=57Continue reading →]]>Work Life Balance consists of the implementation of working arrangements and policies which assist workers in combining employment with other aspects of their lives. The right balance for you today will probably be different for you tomorrow. The right balance for you when you are single will be different when you marry, or if you have children; when you start a new career versus when you are nearing retirement.
However, at the core of an effective work-life balance definition are two key everyday concepts that are relevant to each of us. They are daily Achievement and Enjoyment, ideas almost deceptive in their simplicity.

You cannot get the full value from life without BOTH Achievement and Enjoyment.
At a time when we are working harder than ever before and when we are spending more time actually getting to our job before we even start working at it, the idea of achieving balance between our work life and our personal life is looking more and more like an elusive dream.
Work-life balance is more about what you achieve and enjoy during your working time and what you achieve and enjoy during your personal time. You absolutely need to have both of these things in your life on a daily basis.

In your daily activities it is important to aim to achieve something and aim to enjoy something. You don’t need to change the world to achieve something. Achievements are personal, they can be as big or as small as you like. Nor do you need to feel ecstatic to enjoy something. Enjoyment is more than just laughing; enjoyment can be the personal pride or satisfaction you take in something.

https://stanacosmin.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/team-building/#commentsThu, 16 Dec 2010 18:52:47 +0000http://stanacosmin.wordpress.com/?p=51Continue reading →]]>“A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they are mutually accountable”

Team Building refers to a wide range of activities, presented to businesses, schools, sports teams, religious or nonprofit organizations designed for improving team performance. Team building is pursued via a variety of practices, and can range from simple bonding exercises to complex simulations and multi-day team building retreats designed to develop a team (including group assessment and group-dynamic games), usually falling somewhere in between. It generally sits within the theory and practice of organizational development, but can also be applied to sports teams, school groups, and other contexts.

Reasons for Team Building include:

-Improving communication
-Making the workplace more enjoyable
-Motivating a team
-Getting to know each other
-Getting everyone “onto the same page”, including goal setting
-Teaching the team self-regulation strategies
-Helping participants to learn more about themselves (strengths and weaknesses)
-Identifying and utilizing the strengths of team members
-Improving team productivity
-Practicing effective collaboration with team members

It seems, sometimes, that mobilizers and facilitators just do not occupy the same universe as report writers. Perhaps it is because mobilizing and facilitating is a very verbal occupation, and one where the action and the results are the main focus. Reflecting, remembering and recording seem to be put at a lower priority than the current action.

WHY WRITE REPORTS?
These are some of the answers:
because we have to;
-to enable us to keep records;
-to tell about failures and successes;
-for ourselves, to keep on knowing what we are doing;
-to determine further actions;
-to use for evaluation ……………..

Conclusion:
We should write reports;
Reports should be read; and
Action should result from each report.

Accomplished writers move back and forth between the stages of the process, both consciously and unconsciously. Young writers, however, benefit from the structure and security of following the writing process in their writing.Students generate ideas for writing: brainstorming; reading literature; creating life maps, webs, and story charts; developing word banks; deciding on form, audience, voice, and purpose as well as through teacher motivation.

Students : -get their ideas on paper.
-proof their own work by reading aloud and reading for sensibility.
-share and make suggestions for improvement: asking who,what,when,where,why, and how questions about parts of the story the peer does not understand; looking for better words; and talking about how to make the work better.
-Work together on editing for mechanics and spelling.
-produce their final copy to discuss with the teacher and write a final draft.
-publish their written pieces: sending their work to publishers; reading their finished story aloud, making books.

https://stanacosmin.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/non-verbal-comunication/#respondTue, 14 Dec 2010 17:40:50 +0000http://stanacosmin.wordpress.com/?p=36Continue reading →]]>Good communication is the foundation of successful relationships, both personally and professionally. But we communicate with much more than words. In fact, research shows that the majority of our communication is nonverbal. Nonverbal communication, or body language, includes our facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and even the tone of our voice.

Nonverbal communication, or body language, is a vital form of communication. When we interact with others, we continuously give and receive countless wordless signals. All of our nonverbal behaviors—the gestures we make, the way we sit, how fast or how loud we talk, how close we stand, how much eye contact we make—send strong messages.

The way you listen, look, move, and react tell the other person whether or not you care and how well you’re listening. The nonverbal signals you send either produce a sense of interest, trust, and desire for connection—or they generate disinterest, distrust, and confusion.
It takes more than words to create fulfilling, strong relationships. Nonverbal communication has a huge impact on the quality of our relationships.

What might the most common Presentation Skills issue be?

The fact that for most people, even experienced presenters, getting up and presenting in front of an audience can be a terrifying and even phobic experience.

Yes! The number one phobia that most people share is making a presentation; speaking in front of a group of other people: colleagues, strangers, it doesn’t seem to matter – it’s scary.

Many presenters have no idea of what can be achieved. Most of us know the power of an audience.

It is often the rather unnerving experience of being on the receiving end of twenty pairs of eyes looking at us in polite silence as if to say “Yes? … So?”..It takes a little courage, but the rewards are enormous.

Find a “Hook” for your next presentation

How do you distinguish yourself from other speakers so audience members will not forget you? You don’t want to blend in with other speakers so that neither your message nor you are remembered. A major way to remain unforgettable to an audience is a “hook:” something unique about you or an uncommon approach to a common subject.
For me “the hook” is the auction.
